Chateau Brane Cantenac 2000Margaux
Bottle (3)

"Undeniably the finest Brane-Cantenac in 40-50 years, the deep
ruby/purple-colored 2000's beautiful aromatics of smoke, black
currants, tobacco, earth, and flowers jump from the glass. In the
mouth, it is pure, elegant, medium-bodied, with savory tannin and
adequate acidity, and a measured yet authoritatively flavored
mid-palate and finish. How encouraging it is to see this property
get its act together." (92 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #146,
Apr. 2003)

"Fully mature and very attractive, the 2000 Brane Cantenac,
which started a succession of brilliant wines from this famous
estate in the Margaux appellation, has a dark plum/ruby/purple
color, a sweet, juicy nose of blue, red, and black fruits, and a
hint of damp earth as well as subtle herbs. Spicy, round, complex,
very lush, and at its plateau of maturity, this wine should
continue to drink well for another 10-15 years at minimum. This is
Margaux elegance and silkiness at its very best." (92 pts. Robert
Parker, Wine Advocate #189, June 2010)
